Petra - Don't Let Your Heart Be Hardened Lyrics






[Based on Psalm 95:7-8, Hebrews 3:13]

Don't let your heart be hardened - don't let your love grow cold
May it always stay so childlike - may it never grow too old
Don't let your heart be hardened - may you always know the cure
Keep it broken before Jesus, keep it thankful, meek, and pure

May it always feel compassion - may it beat as one with God's
May it never be contrary - may it never be at odds
May it always be forgiving - may it never know conceit
May it always be encouraged - may it never know defeat

May your heart be always open - never satisfied with right
May your heart be filled with courage and strengthened with all might

Let His love rain down upon you
Breaking up your fallow ground
Let it loosen all the binding
Till only tenderness is found

    May your heart be always open - never satisfied with right.

    Can anyone explain to me what is the meaning of "never satisfied with right"?
    For it seems to me "to be satisfied with wrong too". And it look as wrong.
    Maybe it is a English expression I Don`t Know yet.

  15. B.... W....

    - Acts 28:27 -   For the heart of this people is waxed gross (cold), and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

    - Proverbs 4:23 -   Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

  16. A.... W....

    "Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts." --Charles DickensMy favorite quote from him...always reminds me of this song!

  28. M.... W....

    Man these songs bring back fond memories I love Petra best Christian Rock band of all time.

  29. C.... H....

    I love listening to petra

  30. R.... S....

    Love this song, Don't let heart be harden, Keep it broken before Jesus - Good advice

  31. f.... 7....

    Ohhhh...my friend Diane and I used to sit in my car after our youth meetings at night, singing this song 1000x over and over and over, for hours and hours, couldn't stop, felt the Presence of the LORD the whole time!  Loved this one!

  32. J.... P....

    "May your heart be always open - never satisfied with right "
    What is the meaning of "never satisfied with right" ??
    Can explaine me?

    J.... P....

    What they mean is, to not simply be content doing or being right, but to always be hungering and pursuing for more of God and more of righteousness.  To always do more good than what is required.  I know, it wasn't really the best choice of words to express that, but that's what they are trying to say.  Don't just stop with "right", but go beyond and higher and do more than the base level of "goodness" and "righteousness", just go higher and higher in God and in what you do for Him.  Hope that helps

    J.... P....

    Yes. It helped me!! Thank you!!! I understood wrong before.

    J.... P....

    content in Him yes, satisfied with doing right... no...allowing His righteousness to be our covering and seeking always to follow His leading

  33. S.... M....

    Such an encouragement in hard times. We feel that the world is dragging us down. People mistreat us. Others take advantage of us, or say disparaging things about us for following Jesus.

  34. N.... M....

    good stuff!!!

  35. m.... ....

    a Nice Classic the gives ~ Spiritual ~ Freedom !  t : )

  36. P.... D....

    After seeing posts on facebook and reports on the news in this past election, this song came to mind. Don't let your love grow cold.

  37. r.... j....

    I I believe the road to sion is in my heart you too I pray for you susan

  41. f.... r....

    love this song ... always have!

  42. J.... L....

    "keep it broken before Jesus. keep it thankful meek and pure". Humble yourself before the Lord your God. Then and only then will one discover the secret to a genuine relationship with Him

  43. D.... K....

    why would some one not like this. IM going to call u a damn sadist. love Jesus and belive in him and all miricals he preformed on all of our loving hearts.

  44. T.... S....

    I want my love to be child-like, I never want to doubt again.  Watching kids give their hearts to Jesus at vacation bible school changed me.  I look at them and wonder how they can just devote themselves to something they understand even less then I do.  Then I realize that they got the right idea, they are already set up with the best father imaginable.  He has a massive house with infinite food on the table.  A big field for games, and enough love for each and every one of us.  God is awesome, don't ever forget it

    T.... S....

    my heart has always been broken.

    T.... S....

    +The Saturated Squid Nice comments. . .although one can "doubt" and be a follower. . Thomas did. Jesus can take our questions.

    T.... S....

    I know but I would still rather not xD but its all good, God reigns

  45. J.... L....

    may it stay so child like.

  46. T.... W....

    I've been trying to learn this one for a while now (on my guitar) and I get lost when it changes to the verses!

    T.... W....

    Can I ask you bro, are you Jason on Duck Dynasty? Wow, you look just like him.'''
    Anyway, my name is Roger Griffith, I been playing guitar since I was 7 years old and thank God for this talent he gave me.'' I believe I could play this song.''''
    God Bless

    T.... W....

    I'm not Jason (Jase) but I have signed autographs (as Tim "Looks like Jase" Wright) and had many people taking selfies with me. I've only been playing guitar since I was 30. Check out some of my video if you have a chance. If you can figure all the chords out, share them with me haha. Like I said, I can get some of them until the melody changes. It may actually be a song written like one of my videos I uploaded last week "What A Way To Go"

  47. J.... W....

    My wife, Dorn, loves this song and played it in the late 80s when she first got saved.  She still loves it today.  It is so true... 

  48. c.... ....

    I first heard it many years ago,and still think of it as one of the very best contemporary Christian songs I have ever heard.

  49. L.... R....

    Love this song so much!!!

  57. c.... ....

    Don't let you heart harden, let the love of Jesus transform it.
    Don't be like a rock which roles without end in the desert.
    Be compassionate to others.

    Ditto en anglais.

  58. E.... P....

    Ne laisse pas ton coeur s'endurcir; laisse l'Amour de Jésus le transformer.
    Ne sois pas comme une pierre qui roule sans fin dans le désert.
    Sois compatissant envers les autres.

  59. J.... P....

    ths was the first petra song i had ever heard! age 11 in 1987.

  60. M.... P....

    Que buen tema le puede llegar al corazon a cualquiera

  61. F.... G....

    It's always nice to meet another Petra fan! I So love Petra,I can't get enough of them! I especially love Bob Hartman on the guitar! He is just Awesome!! Do you like Greg Volz or John Schlitt on vocals? I think that they're both great in their own right! What's your faorite song? Mine is " No Doubt" I could listen to that song over and over. That song has ministered to me So many times when I was in doubt and when my faith was weak and I was ready to give in and give up. Yes,let's correspond!

  62. D.... G....

    Frank, I'm responding to your message regarding Petra. Believe it or not, when I 1st heard Petra in 1988 I hated their music. matter of fact, every album I bought I couldn't stand any of them anitially; they grew on me, their band is awesome! I have like 14 album's by them. If you would like too correspond, I'll look forward too hearing from you. in CHRIST Donnie

  63. t.... ....

    Wow, it's been a long time since I heard this song. Of course it was on cassette, and I remember having a record of Petra's ..........I am old. Lol

  64. m.... c....

    i think of my uncle mauro jose

  65. F.... G....

    @UnknownPetraFan ~Since I'm a relatively new fan,I just discovered Petra this past summer,please let me know of any songs by Petra,even the older ones.

    PEACE JOY LOVE

    In Christ's Love,

    Oh Father help me. In this world of cynicism and wickedness, it is so easy to allow my heart to grow cold and hard. Help me to keep that wonder and awe that I had for You when my eyes were first opened. Help my love for others not be determined by what they do. Help my faith to stand, to believe you when all the world says it's impossible. Pour the oil of Your Spirit on my heart that it stays tender and pure. Thank you for this song of inspiration. I love You

    @Skylez1 It's a struggle. My mom passed away on the 30th of this month last year and I was just a new christian of about 4 months. I was an alcoholic and when she passed it escalated and wanted to commit suicide. I wasn't sober for months!!!! I can't count 1 day!!! In May of this year I thought I died, ended up with a week long hangover. I told myself there's got to be a better way and I haven't had a drink since then. Scripture reading and prayer everyday has really helped me.

    N.... L....

    Nathan Lindahl wow. That is so great! It’s been a long time since you wrote this comment but I hope you are going well. May God bless you. Not long to go now, the Lord Jesus is coming soon!!! Look up!

    N.... L....

    I wanted to commit suicide when my Mom died. Jesus has given me the strength to go on🦁🕂🕂💐💐🕀♞ He delivered me from mental depression and so much more. Hang on, and so sorry about your Mom :(

  68. h.... m....

    @Skylez1 It is a struggle because your "spirit is willing,but your flesh is weak".This is normal.You love God,and you believe,but you still have that part of you that wants to do what you feel like doing.Keep your strength up by praying,praising,reading your Bible,and surrounding yourself with strong Believers.When you mess up,ask forgiveness and try again.Don't give up.

  69. c.... ....

    "May your heart always be filled with courage.."
    Great song, great lyrics.

  70. L.... L....

    This song is timeless and beautiful.

  71. G.... G....

    Bob Hartman wrote this song for John Schlitt because he was inspired by John's deep love for the Lord. It serves as a lasting image of inspiration to those who mature in Christ yet still wish to maintain the innocence of a childlike heart.

  72. C.... ....

    Petra is always preaching the word of god through their music. Love their songs.

  73. D.... W....

    Petra along w/ Dallas Holm And Jimmy Swaggart, (Before he fell from Grace), were the main influences in my Christian walk.

    D.... W....

    Bro. Swaggart hasn't fallen from grace, he is still with the LORD and the LORD is still with him.  Let all the good that he is still doing for the LORD today continue to influence you.  He is a good, called, and chosen man of God that the devil caused to stumble at one point.  But he is completely sold out to the LORD, don't pass him by.  Let the gift of God inside him continue to help you along!  Best
